Another object of the invention is to proset forth in which an improved means is provided for detachably securing said .pic-' A further object of the invention is to provide an article of the character described which is composed of a minimum number of parts, is therefore simple in construction, and is cheap to manufacture. 1

.With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and drawings, and ointed out in the claims hereto ap ende it being understood that in the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the s irit or vention. 1 v In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspection, Fig. 2 is. a plan view showin the outer face thereof, Fig. 3 is a similar view of the reverse side Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view therethroug 1, 'Fig. 5 is a plan view showing 6 is a plan view of the reverse side thereof.

Disposed against the inner face of this body s an elongated rectangular body of trans I parent material 7' such as celluloid or'the like. The longitudinal edges of this transparent body are folded outwardly 'to-form attaching'flanges 8,-8 and the longitudinal" edges of the body .5 -:ire inwardly turned-to form hems which arerespectively dis posed over the flanges 8-8. 'Longitudinal rows of stitching .10"1O are employed for securing the parts together.

Display cards which are each indicated by g the reference numeral 11, are adapted to be detach'ably mounted in rear of the transparent body 7 and in rear of the openings 6. the u per. and lower edges'thereof 'bein dispose between the trans arent body Tan the flanges 8--8 thereof. t will thus ti'on, the cards 11 may 'bejeasily removed or attached and when in the-latter positions, will be firmly held 4 b against accidental disp acement. he rear face of each card 11 is preferably left blank so that appropriate remarks relating to the be observed that by reasonof this constructhe flan es 88 card in question ma be written thereu on.
